There is some solid information in this book; tips on fighting, evading, surviving, and making sweet, sweet love to your love interest. This is a guide on how to be the seemingly perfect action hero, knowing how to make it through any given situation that might come up in your duties as the good guy.

A handy reference book using advice from experts in their field. If you ever find yourself in these strange situations, this would be a good book to have by your side. (

This book was humorous as intended. It was a very quick read. It is not a book that I would probably want to read more than once. (

I've forced my way through a lot of less-than-stellar books over the past few years. I couldn't make it through this one.

The concept here is amusing: take concepts from James Bond/cop movies/scifi and explain how it's done in actual practice. Sure, some of them are fanciful, like how to rappel down Mount Rushmore, but others could be more useful in writing fiction, like how to take fingerprints or be hit by a car.

The problems here are twofold:
1) The information is bland. It's stuff most anyone would know by watching TV or movies. I wanted nitty-gritty, or extra insight into the process. This might have worked if the material was funny, but...
2) It wasn't funny.

I'm glad I paid 50 cents for this, and that the money went for charity. At least my purchase did some good. (

A fun look at how to be an action hero, with tips derived from many of your favorite movies and TV shows. I'm a sucker for books like this -- I've got about a dozen -- but this holds a special place in my collection because of the breadth of scope. Rather than focusing on one character from a movie or show -- Indiana Jones or Batman, for example -- this book tends to cover much more, and as a result, is more "valuable" in that respect. If this kind of book is your cup of tea, be sure to add it to your collection. I hear they have a "action heroine" version, too... (

If you've ever wanted to be James Bond or Indiana Jones this is the book for you! (Ladies, there is apparently a copy available just for girls, too.)

The book offers instruction on how to do a number of things that will prove important in your crime fighting lifestyle. Who doesn't need to know how to take a hit with a chair or jump out of a plane and catch the guy that took the last parachute and safely make it back to Earth? (

Action heros are made, not born. Even those with superpowers and precocious talents had to start somewhere. After all did you really think that Superman could always leap tall buildings in a single bound, that James Bond always knew to drink martinis shaken (not stirred), or that Indiana Jones was born with a whip in his hand instead of a rattle? Of course not--every action hero shows a clear aptitude for heroism, but needs guidance along the way.
